Graham Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Looking for some jobs for the weekend that are not going to cost me a fortune and thought I might replace the scruffy battery cables on UOV, I have some 16MM cable and crimps will this be 'heavy enough' looking at tables on the web it says that 16mm should be good enough for up to 100Amps at 2M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) I would go heavier than that, starter currents can be higher than 100A, especialy on a cold day ! 25mm would be more like it. Bob. Edited May 5, 2017 by Lebro Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RogerH Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Hi Graham, Halfords do a nice range of ready made leads (in Red and Black) and at a reasonable price. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Welding cable! Sold in any length, capable enough to take the current and very flexible. Menno Quote Link to post Share on other sites
